An athletic player who is a very good leaper and plays with great intensity. Loves to play in up-tempo, can create his own shot and grabs a lot of rebounds for his size. Thanks to these skills, he can play in the 1 and in the 2 guard positions, but should work on his quarterbacking skills to become a true PG at pro level.
